Puzzle Rules: The solution to the puzzle is a former Dodger. Comment freely in the thread, but if
you have the solution, please don't give it away to everyone in the
comments section. Instead, do the following:

Send us me an Email
with "PCS" somewhere in the subject line, containing the first and
last name of the players, along with your reasoning. Submitted answers
without the reasoning, or those submitted with the incorrect reasoning,
will count for participation only, even if the answer itself is correct.
And please include your screen name somewhere in the email; and

Post a comment simply saying you have emailed your solution attempt.
We may not be able to reply to your original email promptly, so please
be patient and check back on the comment thread for the latest news; we
may confirm correct answers there.

You have until midnight PT tonight to submit your answer. Answer will be posted tomorrow morning. Good luck!

Hint #1 11:00 am - The items in the word bank come in sets of seven. I'd recommend starting with unscrambling the shorter words to start to narrow things down.

I like the idea of letting it go for longer, too. You might even consider leaving it up for a week (since you'd never have two puzzles overlapping that way), and maybe even only introduce one hint per day. If you did that, you could make the puzzle worth fewer points as the hints are released, and by the last day the hint could basically just tell you how to do it. I suspect you'd get more participation (and solves) that way. But then, I'm not sure how excited you'd be about changing the format now that we've started...
